I ripped all the carpet to install the laminated floor I am satisfied with the result I have one or two steps in the rooms and that is where i would have preferred buying real wood But then this price can't be beat I like the product and it works

We used this to cover up an old Linoleum floor in our kitchen for a quick fix. The only complaint was the groove would fall apart when we were trying to snap the pieces together or when we hit them with a rubber mallot. It looks totally different in our kitchen for only [$] and took about 2 days off of our time!

We bought enough flooring to do our kitchen, livingroom and hall. All areas turned out really beautiful. I love the way it looks, it makes our home look like a brand new house! The price was perfect! We were really afraid that because it was so cheap that we would really not like it, but that is not the case at all. The floor is very durable and I think it will stand up to kids and pets nicely. The only thing I would say that is negative about it is it can be a bit hard to install, but my husband did it just fine with minimal waste (just some cursing heard lol).

Floating flooring does not fasten to the subfloor. Instead it locks together at the joints and lays/floats on the subfloor.

Q:

I am redecorating an office and would like to use a floating floor. Currently most of the office has a thin commercial grade carpet glue directly to a concrete floor. We are having difficulty removing it. If you put down a 6 mil poly, can it be laid over the thin carpet? Would that help any with sound?

Carpet and pad needs to be removed for floating flooring installation because the locking mechanism will fail if not on a solid subfloor surface.

Q:

I am considering this for the hallways in my office, but concerned about the noise when people walk by the offices. Is the floating floors as loud as regular laminate or hardwood floors? Which economical sound barrier do you recommend, cork too expensive?

•Pet urine contains uric acid and ammonia which can cause a finish to dull and can damage any floor typically making it a dark or black color in appearance, especially if the pet urinates in the same spot over and over again. •Cleaning up pet urine with water and ammonia may not be a good idea as some urine contains ammonia so the animal will be attracted to the same spot again. Spot cleaning with a mixture of warm water and plain vinegar on a lightly dampened cloth will clean the floor and take care of the smell. Immediately after cleaning buff the area dry. A board replacement can be done for any damaged planks•If a dog urinates on the floor while you are gone, you will have to clean it up immediately when you get back.•With laminate flooring urine can cause the seams to swell if left unattended. Urine can create a smell and possibly discolor the wood if left too long or untreated. • To prevent any possible problems have someone keep the pet while you’re away or have someone check in on them each day to clean up any mess. •Urine will dry up and may be hard to see to clean, so a tip would be to use a black light to find the area and spot clean the area with a mixture of warm water and vinegar on a lightly damp cloth. The vinegar should take out any potential smell. Buff dry immediately after spot cleaning.

Q:

Does the 7mm Maple Calhoun floor have texture or grooves or is it smooth? I ordered a Cherry Laminate and online it looked smooth but when I got it I noticed it is textured. I LOVe the texture and wonder why the description online didn't say that it was textured.
